A. Wintour's Tale We love this story from the New York Post’s PageSix gossip hounds… Apparently US Vogue is revamping its website, but the magazine’s superbitch editor Anna Wintour isn’t making things easy. "Anna hates the word 'blog' so much, she refuses to call anything on her site a blog and has charged her staff with coming up with a new word that isn't as garish-sounding," snitched a Vogue staffer. "She wants it ASAP - in time for launch." A Wintour minion has defended her boss's point of view, saying: "Anna just doesn't want people to refer to stories as blogs, because they're not. It's an improper use of the word. Anna has nothing against blogs." We know exactly how the Twiglet-limbed, helmet head feels. We’re tired of the glittering prose that graces Pinglewood being referred to as mere blog. Pinglewood, you see, is just like Vogue. We are literature- We're an entity- and while we may not bring about world peace, we will leave you broke and anorexic. We’re keen to see what the Voguettes come up with. Sticking with farshion, darling, we were rather impressed with some of the soundtracks at the recent Autumn/Winter ‘07 shows. In New York, Heatherette design duo Richie Rich and Traver Rains employed the services of hip hop DJ Swizz Beatz and Erin Fetherston got hipster pal Zooey Deschanel to open her show with a sweet rendition of Dream a Little Dream. In Paris, Robert Normand had Au Revoir Simone play a live set during his show, while moon-faced Stella McCartney had her models parade around to Amerie, Spank Rock and Radiohead. As ever, London was consumed by electro, Christopher Kane played it sophisticated, while Gareth Pugh mixed the Psycho strings with Benidorm euro-dance anthems. Cassette Playa didn’t have JME or Sonic modeling this time, but she did stay true to her new rave roots. Stockholm followed suit with the likes of LCD Soundsystem and the Klaxons on a loop at the ultra-hot +46 Select show, while Ann-Sofie Back was on an old rave tip, blasting out classics from S’Express, Black Box and the KLF. Here are five great songs we expect to hear on a catwalk before the year is out: Of Montreal - Gronlandic Edit [mp3] [Buy] The Honeydrips - (Lack of) Love Will Tear Us Apart [mp3] [Buy] Mark Ronson ft. Santagold - Pretty Green [mp3] [Buy] Foals - The French Open (demo) [mp3] [Buy] Dntel ft. Jenny Lewis - Roll On [mp3] [Buy] Posted by: Alice 19/03/07
